Volkswagen Passat Audi Wiper Motor Replacement Part 2

[@illuminate1970]

Yes, respectfully, you did a removal, not the install. I just went through your video quickly and found at the end, you didn't install the new one, and there are some things to know about installing things, like clues to how to align the arms up properly to get the full swing of the wipers when turned on. I really do appreciate you making a video, but perhaps you might keep the titles accurate so others know to spend time watching or not. Having said this, again, I appreciate and respect that you have done the video... thank you for sharing regardless of the not-so-accurate title. :)

Enjoyed this video. Looks similiar to my 91 Golf except for the location of the fuse panel. I just have to climb under my dash to access the panel with half my body outside the car lol. I agree testing for voltage would be tough with the wiper motor in the car, but of course check the fuses,relays and wiper stalk on the steering wheel first before removing the motor. Thanks for posting this!

Yes, the high contrast with a bright day makes video much more difficult. That's a very insightful comment, Rich.

[@leer5858]

If you unplug the ECU from the 4 or so plugs, it gives a much extra needed inch or 2 and makes sliding it in or out much easier. Thanks for the video, still helped me loads.

Thank you for the tip.

A cloudy day is the best time to take footage outside.

[@12vgs8606]

I want to see you try to reassemble it back :-) That is going to be even more fun job

[@epiphaknee]

Shoe horn? I was thinking of a plasma cutter for the old unit! LOL! Of course, you would need a Saturn, VW, GM, Ford, etc., shoe horn for each application. Great video, what a Bit__!

[@ManicMechanic007]

Thanks for taking the time Rich.

God work 😊😊

[@calyreyes25]

Hey! Great video...Do you have another one explaining how you put it back in?just looking for an idea of how hard was it to put it back in place. Thanks

[@LSJUAN]

I see you have a new panel remover. I saw ol' faithful give out in one of your recent videos.

[@RichpinTv]

Sometimes difficult can be an understatement.

[@TOMOFONO]

I just wanted to add that the new panel remover looks great...german cars are so needlessly difficult...

[@Ryancuasay]

You're the man Rich!

[@RichpinTv]

I need a couple of beers before i do that.

[@dericn]

That's a tight fit! I'll bet the service manual says you must remove the windshield first to gain access to the wiper motor... LOL

[@RichpinTv]

Thank you that will work to get those pesky wiper arms off.

[@odde]

thank you for sharing

[@FyberOptic]

That motor sure came loose from the assembly easily. When I replaced the one on my mom's Saturn SL2, I about never got those bolts broken loose. It makes matters worse when you have to try and find somewhere to hold down the wiper assembly so that you can actually put some effort onto the bolts themselves. I didn't have a vice handy.

[@simelemotolomeo]

I couldn't put this back. you should explain how to do it. Because is Easy to remove

[@RichpinTv]

I left it there when i get the green car back i am going to check it first then if it needs a motor i will put a rebuilt in.

[@SB-rz2kt]

On my sons car, when he turns off wiper it stays up, any ideas where to start looking for that problem?

[@TheWwong]

Good job Rich. How much did the junk yard charge you for that motor?

[@ItsAlwaysRusty]

Nice having access to a pick a part junk yard.. You know the owner?

[@RichpinTv]

You bet.

[@RichpinTv]

Just about.

[@funnyman801]

drain holes are blocked where the wiper motor sits in.scuttle box fills with rain water and shorts out the motor and gums up the spindles clean out scuttle box/ leaves and mud\ and check with water can of water for flow ta ta

[@RichpinTv]

Thank you for the information.

[@12vgs8606]

you will need the whole six pack!!

[@RichpinTv]

It's a real bitch to have to take out the motor just to check for voltage.

[@Wildylajf]

This looks incredibly frustrating

[@rusco321]

1st

[@teamplanetaudioben]

man that looked like a real pain in the ass...i hope my motor never blows on my s4

[@christofpatriot3100]

Just wrong
